Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: It's the Happy Families podcast.
- 0:05Speaker 2: It's the podcast for the time poor parent who just
- 0:09Speaker 2: on answers.
- 0:10Speaker 1: Now as a young man and even now as a
- 0:13Speaker 1: dangerously close to fifty year old guy, my degree of
- 0:17Speaker 1: interest in sensation seeking activities is massively higher than yours. Now,
- 0:23Speaker 1: obviously we're talking about a sample size of one. But
- 0:26Speaker 1: you don't want to do the crazy stuff that I
- 0:27Speaker 1: want to do.
- 0:28Speaker 3: And now here's the stars of our show, my mum
- 0:32Speaker 3: and dad. All right, so we're rolling. Are you ready?
- 0:34Speaker 3: Let's do this?
- 0:35Speaker 2: Do you really have to do? Doctor's Desk?
- 0:37Speaker 3: I don't know why you don't like this.
- 0:39Speaker 1: It is literally the best podcast episode that we do
- 0:42Speaker 1: every month.
- 0:43Speaker 2: You just need to say the name of the first
- 0:46Speaker 2: journal article. Yeah, and you put me to sleep?
- 0:50Speaker 1: Oh come on, don't be like okay, okay, so that
- 0:52Speaker 1: we probably should do the intro. I'm doctor Justin Coulson,
- 0:55Speaker 1: You're Coylie, Miss Corn.
- 0:57Speaker 3: Yeah I am.
- 0:57Speaker 1: And I'm just going to leave it here because that
- 0:59Speaker 1: was very, very fun, and now everyone knows exactly how
- 1:02Speaker 1: you feel about the podcast episode we're about to do today.
- 1:04Speaker 1: This is literally the best podcast episode we do each month.
- 1:07Speaker 1: And folks, this is what I have to deal with
- 1:09Speaker 1: every single month. When we start to do this, we.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Just need another doctor sitting in the chair.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I'm going to read, as you've requested, the title of
- 1:18Speaker 1: the two journal articles that we're going to be emphasizing
- 1:20Speaker 1: in Today's Doctor's Desk podcast. If you're new to the podcast,
- 1:24Speaker 1: Once a month I pull out a couple of articles
- 1:27Speaker 1: that are relevant to research that I'm doing for a
- 1:29Speaker 1: book or an article, or just parenting generally, stuff that
- 1:32Speaker 1: I've come across that I think so interesting that I
- 1:34Speaker 1: have to share it with you on the podcast and
- 1:35Speaker 1: talk about it. And the first article that we're going
- 1:38Speaker 1: to talk about today comes from Lawrence Steinberg, literally the
- 1:41Speaker 1: world's leading authority on adolescence.
- 1:44Speaker 3: Such a great article.
- 1:45Speaker 1: The article is called sex Differences in the Developmental Trajectories
- 1:49Speaker 1: of Impulse control and Sensation seeking from Early adolescents to
- 1:52Speaker 1: early adulthood. It was published in the Journal of Youth
- 1:55Speaker 1: and Adolescence.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Is he trying to make up his word count?
- 1:58Speaker 3: There's no word count? I think this is so.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Do you remember when you were in high school and
- 2:03Speaker 2: you had to write a five hundred word essay and
- 2:05Speaker 2: you'd add a whole unnecessary words into your text you
- 2:09Speaker 2: just to make up the word count.
- 2:13Speaker 3: No, they make it so long. Well, I have listened
- 2:16Speaker 3: to the title.
- 2:16Speaker 1: The second one that we're going to do, antecedents of
- 2:18Speaker 1: empathic capacity Emotion regulation styles as mediate is between controlling
- 2:23Speaker 1: versus autonomy, supportive maternal.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Practices, and empathy.
- 2:27Speaker 2: This is.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Who talks I miss academia. I really do. I love it.
- 2:37Speaker 2: Do you ever hear anyone use those words in a
- 2:41Speaker 2: normal day to day conversation?
- 2:43Speaker 1: This is who you've married. Oh my god, So can
- 2:46Speaker 1: we talk about them? Now that everyone knows where we're going. See,
- 2:49Speaker 1: now that I've done that, people are probably switching the
- 2:51Speaker 1: podcast off and just going, yeah, no, not for me today.
- 2:53Speaker 1: These are really important studies. Okay if you have boys.
- 2:57Speaker 1: If you have boys, the first study really matters a lot.
- 3:00Speaker 1: And if you have children who you would like to
- 3:02Speaker 1: have see more empathy in the second study is enormously important. Okay,
- 3:08Speaker 1: there's so much Come on, I love you all right,
- 3:13Speaker 1: here we go. So the first article from Steinberg, Shulman,
- 3:17Speaker 1: also Harden and Chin, Journal of Youth and Adolescence. I'm
- 3:21Speaker 1: just going to read a couple of lines out of
- 3:23Speaker 1: the abstract and let's pull a couple of things out
- 3:24Speaker 1: of it. This one is super important. So first of all,
- 3:27Speaker 1: some context. We're looking at how males and females, and
- 3:31Speaker 1: we're talking here about natal males, natal females, that is,
- 3:34Speaker 1: born male, born female, how they develop their impulse control
- 3:40Speaker 1: and their sensation seeking. So these are two separate ideas.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Impulse control. I want to do that, but I'm able
- 3:46Speaker 1: to control it. It's like inhibition regulation.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So stereotypically, when you say those words, I think of boys.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yes, and rightly so, and the research would definitely bear
- 3:56Speaker 1: that out. It's stereotypical, but it's true. Now distributions overlap
- 3:59Speaker 1: a lot of girls that struggle with impulse control, but
- 4:02Speaker 1: only the ones the majority of them don't compared to
- 4:06Speaker 1: relative to boys the same age. In fact, there's some
- 4:09Speaker 1: incredible data in this study that's going to blow your mind.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I'll come to that in a second, blow your mind.
- 4:13Speaker 1: So impulse control develops differently to sensation seeking. They had
- 4:17Speaker 1: different trajectories. Let me ask you, even before I dive
- 4:21Speaker 1: into the article, what would you anticipate would be the
- 4:23Speaker 1: trajectory of impulse control for males females both either neither,
- 4:28Speaker 1: whatever you like. How does impulse control develop.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I don't know if this is what you're looking for,
- 4:34Speaker 2: but I would suggest that girls develop impulse control a
- 4:39Speaker 2: lot earlier than boys do.
- 4:40Speaker 1: Definitely, And we're going to get to some incredible data
- 4:43Speaker 1: shortly on that.
- 4:44Speaker 2: And then, you know, we've had conversations in the past.
- 4:47Speaker 2: You add alcohol to the equation and.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Okay, so we're not going to get into that in
- 4:51Speaker 1: today's podcast. That's adding a level of complexity that goes
- 4:55Speaker 1: beyond what this research was about. But if so, you're
- 4:59Speaker 1: identifying that in terms of the trajectory of impulse control development,
- 5:02Speaker 1: girls develop earlier than boys. Would you say that it
- 5:05Speaker 1: continues to just grow step by step by step. Does
- 5:08Speaker 1: it go up and down and fluctuate or is it
- 5:11Speaker 1: a fairly steady rise in impulse control as kids grow.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I don't really know the answer to that. I think
- 5:16Speaker 2: girls in general are actually more people pleases, which is
- 5:20Speaker 2: why their impulse control actually lessens earlier on.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Okay, all right, what about sensation seeking? Who seeks sensation
- 5:28Speaker 1: more boys or girls?
- 5:29Speaker 2: Boys?
- 5:30Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 5:30Speaker 1: Okay, so decades of research would support that. Once again,
- 5:33Speaker 1: does sensation seeking just keep on going up as we
- 5:36Speaker 1: get older? Is it incrementally up and down roller coaster ride.
- 5:40Speaker 1: What would you anticipate.
- 5:41Speaker 2: I think that as you mature, generally speaking, that sensation
- 5:47Speaker 2: seeking would lessen over time. But I think it's a
- 5:49Speaker 2: maturity thing.
- 5:50Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to talk about what the shows in
- 5:53Speaker 1: just a second. Let me tell you about this study.
- 5:56Speaker 1: So essentially, what Shulman, Steinberg and colleagues have said is
- 6:00Speaker 1: that it's been proposed that we see high rates of
- 6:04Speaker 1: risk taking in adolescence partly because of the neurobiological development's
- 6:09Speaker 1: going on. It's a brain development issue, right, and as
- 6:12Speaker 1: your brain develops more, you become less inclined to seek sensations.
- 6:17Speaker 1: That's the overall general proposal.
- 6:19Speaker 3: Now, there's some really.
- 6:20Speaker 1: Clever research that highlights that there are some big holes,
- 6:22Speaker 1: some big flaws with that argument, but that's what most
- 6:25Speaker 1: people will fall back on as a stereotype.
- 6:28Speaker 3: That's what we'll accept.
- 6:30Speaker 1: And as a result of the lack of neurobiological development,
- 6:34Speaker 1: kids are more likely to seek seek sensations and also
- 6:37Speaker 1: have lower impulse control. Impulse control is still developing. Then, Okay,
- 6:41Speaker 1: what these researchers we're trying to do is get access
- 6:45Speaker 1: to really good data showing whether the pattern's the same
- 6:47Speaker 1: for boys and girls, males and females, And so they
- 6:50Speaker 1: got a really good sized number, eight and a half
- 6:53Speaker 1: thousand people into this study, and what they essentially found
- 6:56Speaker 1: was that sensation seeking rise and falls, It goes up
- 7:02Speaker 1: and then it drops off. As you said, with maturity,
- 7:06Speaker 1: impulse control continues to increase into the twenties. What they found, though,
- 7:11Speaker 1: as you've also highlighted, is that males exhibit higher levels
- 7:16Speaker 1: of sensation seeking and also lower levels of impulse controlled.
- 7:20Speaker 2: Do they know why.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Compared to females. We think that it's well, yes, there's
- 7:25Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. Number one, females start puberty earlier.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Females are more neurologically mature, Like we know that by
- 7:35Speaker 1: the time they're about eighteen, girls are as much as
- 7:38Speaker 1: two years.
- 7:39Speaker 3: More neurologically advanced.
- 7:40Speaker 1: There's also some socialization stuff going on, but I think
- 7:44Speaker 1: it goes into a there's a whole lot more happening,
- 7:46Speaker 1: things like testosterone. This is the hormone that genuinely dominates
- 7:53Speaker 1: and divides males from females. It's such an important hormone.
- 7:57Speaker 1: So there's hormones, there's brain development. This is a really
- 8:00Speaker 1: highly vulnerable time, and it seems as though risk taking
- 8:05Speaker 1: during adolescence is greater in magnitude and also lasts for
- 8:09Speaker 1: a whole lot longer in boys than girls.
- 8:13Speaker 2: So tell me what age is impulse control at its lowest.
- 8:17Speaker 1: What's I think really fascinating about this research is when
- 8:21Speaker 1: we look at both males and females together, impulse control
- 8:25Speaker 1: drops from the age of ten through until around about
- 8:28Speaker 1: the age of fourteen and fifteen, Okay, when we look
- 8:30Speaker 1: at the entire population together, and then it increases slowly
- 8:35Speaker 1: back up until the age of twenty five, where it's
- 8:37Speaker 1: at its highest in this study. I would imagine it
- 8:39Speaker 1: continues to increase even after the age of twenty five,
- 8:42Speaker 1: but that wasn't researched. What's fascinating to me, though, is
- 8:46Speaker 1: the difference between males and females on impulse control.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Get this, Are you about to blow my mind?
- 8:54Speaker 3: I'm about to blow your mind.
- 8:56Speaker 1: I'm looking right now at the female male grid and
- 9:01Speaker 1: comparing it to the male and what it shows, Kylie,
- 9:04Speaker 1: is that a twenty five year old male exhibits the
- 9:08Speaker 1: same level of impulse control as a ten year old female.
- 9:13Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, I'm legit. Look at you. This is
- 9:17Speaker 1: fair income.
- 9:18Speaker 2: At EBS explains so much.
- 9:20Speaker 1: Okay, So to put this into context, that twenty five
- 9:24Speaker 1: year old male is showing a slightly higher level of
- 9:26Speaker 1: impulse control than a fourteen or fifteen year old female
- 9:29Speaker 1: because remember I said impulse control drops for both males
- 9:31Speaker 1: and females from the age of ten down to about
- 9:35Speaker 1: fourteen fifteen. But here's the fascinating thing. For females, their
- 9:39Speaker 1: impulse control drops quite substantially from ten through to fourteen fifteen.
- 9:43Speaker 1: For males, it drops like any bit because it's already
- 9:47Speaker 1: so done low. It's like we've got this floor effect,
- 9:49Speaker 1: like you can't get much lower boys, but from the
- 9:52Speaker 1: age of ten. But it does drop just marginally from
- 9:54Speaker 1: ten to fifteen, whereas girls, there's a really defined drop
- 9:58Speaker 1: from ten through to fifteen. Then the girls escalate back
- 10:01Speaker 1: up again really really fast. It's a short window. I'm
- 10:04Speaker 1: going to say that the window where girls are the
- 10:05Speaker 1: lowest is really from about the age of twelve to fifteen.
- 10:08Speaker 1: That's their lowest window, and then all of a sudden
- 10:10Speaker 1: they're good again. Whereas the boys, they're already super low
- 10:13Speaker 1: at the age of ten. They drop a little more
- 10:15Speaker 1: until they're about fourteen and fifteen, and then ever so
- 10:18Speaker 1: slowly they climb back up until at the age of
- 10:20Speaker 1: twenty five their impulse controllers where girls were at ten.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Wow, did that plow mind?
- 10:26Speaker 2: Does it keep getting better?
- 10:27Speaker 1: Well, we don't know, but as I said before, my
- 10:30Speaker 1: guess would be, because we don't have the data in
- 10:31Speaker 1: this particular paper, my guess would be that impulse control
- 10:34Speaker 1: continues to get better. But I mean, let's face it,
- 10:37Speaker 1: you and I are in our forties now, and while
- 10:40Speaker 1: we have pretty good impulse control, if the cake's in
- 10:43Speaker 1: the fridge, you're going to eat it. And if the
- 10:46Speaker 1: icing's on the cake, who's going to eat? And if
- 10:48Speaker 1: the icing's on the cake, I'm going to lick it
- 10:49Speaker 1: all off. And obviously impulse control changes depending on how
- 10:54Speaker 1: tired we are and how hungry we are, and what
- 10:56Speaker 1: our goals are and our values and so on. So
- 10:59Speaker 1: I think that it does get better as we get older.
- 11:01Speaker 1: But the critical thing here is that boys and impulse
- 11:03Speaker 1: control just super super super low relative to females.
- 11:08Speaker 2: So what about sensation seeking, Because you obviously suggested that
- 11:11Speaker 2: they are on different trajectories.
- 11:13Speaker 1: They are, and what we find with sensation seeking for
- 11:15Speaker 1: both girls and boys, is that sensation seeking is at
- 11:18Speaker 1: its lowest, that is, least lowest level of let me
- 11:22Speaker 1: do crazy stuff once again around the age of ten
- 11:25Speaker 1: or eleven, and we see a really steady climb in
- 11:27Speaker 1: sensation seeking until a round about the age of fourteen,
- 11:32Speaker 1: and that's where for girls at.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Pretty much levels off.
- 11:36Speaker 1: When I say levels off, it stays at that level
- 11:38Speaker 1: from fourteen through until a round about the age of
- 11:41Speaker 1: eighteen somewhere in there, and then it declines pretty rapidly
- 11:46Speaker 1: until at the age of twenty five it's back where
- 11:48Speaker 1: the sensation seeking was at the age of twelve for females.
- 11:52Speaker 1: But when we look at it for boys, they're already
- 11:55Speaker 1: much higher than the girls anyway, but they accelerate super
- 11:58Speaker 1: fast from ten through to fourteen, but then they keep
- 12:00Speaker 1: on accelerating. It eases off a little bit to sixteen seventeen,
- 12:04Speaker 1: and then it spikes again around about eighteen nineteen, and
- 12:08Speaker 1: then it pretty much stays there until they're twenty four
- 12:10Speaker 1: and then it drops off a little bit. So, I mean,
- 12:15Speaker 1: this is a controversial topic, and especially with the way
- 12:20Speaker 1: the world is right now, and this idea that there's
- 12:23Speaker 1: a blue brain and a pink brain. I'll hang on. No,
- 12:26Speaker 1: there's not. It's delusions of gender. There are all of
- 12:29Speaker 1: these things that are being spoken about and written about
- 12:31Speaker 1: in terms of gender and sex differences. From a responsible
- 12:36Speaker 1: science perspective, it's undeniable that boys and girls differ. Obviously,
- 12:42Speaker 1: there is continuum, and there are some boys who are
- 12:45Speaker 1: very very low on sensation seeking and super great with
- 12:47Speaker 1: impulse control. But they are in the exception. Those distributions
- 12:51Speaker 1: overlap only on the extremes they are different. There are
- 12:55Speaker 1: real differences there. And I find this data from Steinber
- 13:00Speaker 1: and Shulman so compelling when you look at the way
- 13:03Speaker 1: they've done the study and look at what they've reported.
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's just such a compelling thing. And I look at
- 13:09Speaker 1: it and I think to myself as a young man,
- 13:12Speaker 1: and even now as a dangerously close to fifty year
- 13:15Speaker 1: old guy, my degree of interest in sensation seeking activities
- 13:21Speaker 1: is massively higher than yours. Now, obviously we're talking about
- 13:25Speaker 1: a sample size of one. But you don't want to
- 13:27Speaker 1: do the crazy stuff that I want to do.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Hey, I went river boarding, Yeah you did, you.
- 13:32Speaker 2: Did, But that wasn't thrial seeking enough for you.
- 13:35Speaker 1: I really wanted to do the bungee swing, and I
- 13:37Speaker 1: love to serve big waves, and I love to ride
- 13:39Speaker 1: my bike fast downhills, and you know what I mean,
- 13:41Speaker 1: there's that sensation seeking element that I think is just
- 13:44Speaker 1: so so profoundly different between males and females on average.
- 13:52Speaker 2: Well, look, you blew my mind so much that we
- 13:54Speaker 2: don't have time for this second.
- 13:55Speaker 1: No, we have to do it, but we're going to
- 13:57Speaker 1: do it really really quick. Ok, this is in three
- 13:59Speaker 1: minutes or less.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Oh wow, Well, after the title you send with me,
- 14:03Speaker 2: I think you've used your three minutes up.
- 14:05Speaker 3: All right. So this one was about empathy.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Is by an Israeli research called Guy Roth, who is
- 14:09Speaker 1: one of my favorite researchers in the entire whole wide world.
- 14:11Speaker 1: And what they've basically done is they've got a whole
- 14:13Speaker 1: bunch of kids, one hundred and forty seven college students.
- 14:15Speaker 1: They've also brought them, brought them together with their close friends,
- 14:18Speaker 1: and they've said, we want to get you to fill
- 14:19Speaker 1: in this survey. So the college students have filled in
- 14:22Speaker 1: a survey all about the way their mums behave with
- 14:25Speaker 1: them and the way they regulate their emotions, both individually
- 14:28Speaker 1: and together. And then they've asked the friends, what sort
- 14:35Speaker 1: of empathy and sympathy do you get from our participant
- 14:40Speaker 1: over here who's just filled in that survey? What are
- 14:42Speaker 1: they like when you're having an emotional moment? And what
- 14:44Speaker 1: they've basically found is this, when kids perceive their parents
- 14:49Speaker 1: as being empathic, willing to take their perspective, and then
- 14:54Speaker 1: I guess autonomy, supportive choice providing when they say, well,
- 14:58Speaker 1: it looks like you're having a tough time. What do
- 14:59Speaker 1: you think you need to do here? How can I
- 15:01Speaker 1: support you? Those kids end up being reported by their
- 15:04Speaker 1: friends to be vastly more empathic, wonderfully sympathetic, absolutely willing
- 15:09Speaker 1: to engage with their friend and their difficulties, with lots
- 15:14Speaker 1: of caring and lots of concern, like they really emotionally
- 15:18Speaker 1: step into the space and they're there to support them.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Whereas the kids who are raised in homes where the
- 15:23Speaker 1: parents are emotionally I guess distant, They don't take their
- 15:26Speaker 1: child's perspective. They just sell them to suck it up.
- 15:28Speaker 1: You'll be right, Stop being a big souk. Come on,
- 15:30Speaker 1: get on with it. This is you being ridiculous now
- 15:32Speaker 1: calm down, stop it whatever, and often tell the kids
- 15:36Speaker 1: what to do. What guy Roth and his associates in
- 15:39Speaker 1: this study found is that those people were reported as
- 15:45Speaker 1: being much more emotionally distressed when their friend was experiencing
- 15:48Speaker 1: an emotional reaction, and so they were more aversively engaged emotionally.
- 15:54Speaker 1: They were more self centered with their emotions. They'd be
- 15:57Speaker 1: saying things like I can't believe you're doing this to me,
- 15:59Speaker 1: or like it was just a lack of empathy.
- 16:01Speaker 3: They didn't know how they were emotionally stunted. I guess
- 16:05Speaker 3: is what I'm saying here.
- 16:07Speaker 2: So would that be the same case for parents who
- 16:09Speaker 2: are more just apathetic, Like it's not even a you know,
- 16:12Speaker 2: suck it up, princess kind of thing, it's just a
- 16:14Speaker 2: you know, I've got other things that are more important.
- 16:17Speaker 3: It would be.
- 16:17Speaker 1: And I think there's a couple of things going on here.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Number one, there's modeling, right, So, when you've got a
- 16:21Speaker 1: parent who takes your perspective and then says, well, I
- 16:24Speaker 1: want to give you some choices here, what do you
- 16:25Speaker 1: think you should do? How are we going to work
- 16:27Speaker 1: this out? They're modeling empathy and they're modeling what it
- 16:32Speaker 1: means to support another person's psychological needs. Whereas if you've
- 16:37Speaker 1: got an apathetic parent, or even a parent who's pushing
- 16:40Speaker 1: against the child and saying, come on, this is you're
- 16:42Speaker 1: being ridiculous. Stop it now, you've cried long enough.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Get on with it.
- 16:45Speaker 1: When you've got that going on, what you're showing is
- 16:49Speaker 1: obviously unhelpful modeling. But more than that, you're placing the
- 16:53Speaker 1: relationship on a lower rung than your own personal comfort
- 16:57Speaker 1: with emotions. You're elevating your need to be comfortable over
- 17:00Speaker 1: your over the other person's emotional distress. You're also suggesting
- 17:04Speaker 1: to them that they're not competent in managing their emotions.
